"I eat a BLOCK OF BUTTER a DAY"

A bodybuilder on a carnivore diet eats a block of butter a day and says food is for “function” - not “enjoyment”.

Jonathan Griffiths, 28, has been eating a completely animal-based diet for the last four years.

He eats 700g of meat, half a litre of raw milk, 100g of cheese and four eggs a day.

He avoids any fruit and vegetables and credits the diet for making him “stronger” and improving his health.

00:00 Hi there, my name is Jonathan and I go by Carnival Muscle on YouTube.
00:07 I'm a 28 year old bodybuilder from the south of England in Bournemouth.
00:11 I'd say for me the ultimate biohack has been the Carnival Diet.
00:14 The last time I had vegetables was about a couple of weeks ago.
00:32 I tend to have vegetables or fruit or any kind of thing like that, maybe every two weeks,
00:37 but that's in one single meal with family.
00:40 I find for me it gives me the best flexibility between eating things I enjoy with family
00:46 members, although there are other options you can have outside of restaurant food.
00:52 Some people just go to the restaurant, not eat anything, drink a glass of water, then
00:56 they'll eat before or after.
00:58 For me I like the social aspect of eating more so than the food itself.
01:02 But that's it for the most part and probably 99% Carnival.
01:04 In the future I'd like to compete more.
01:15 I'd like to spread awareness to the Carnival Diet as it stands.
01:19 I think there's a lot of misconception about it, nutrient deficiencies, things like that.
01:26 The thing is I'm the healthiest I've ever been.
01:29 I suffer with many different health issues which were otherwise not imposed upon myself
01:34 by me.
01:36 When I actually managed to mitigate a lot of pain, stress, fatigue from doing it.
01:40 I suffer with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
01:43 For me it's been very valuable to actually implement this diet as an intervention and
01:49 notice the events transpire.
01:52 Since that time I've started Carnival Diet I've reduced all medication down to one single
01:57 medicine each day.
01:59 That's from the point where I was using codeine, lots of painkillers, anti-acids every single
02:04 day for years.
02:05 So my life as an autistic carnivore bodybuilder, what it's worth is significantly better.
